Chapter 14 - Sect Tasks (1/2)

Back to his cabin, Lin Yun began to pack up after a night’s sleep.

Soon, he packed up all his important items in the room.

Actually, there weren’t many important things, among which the three Body Refining Elixirs should be the most valuable.

“I’m afraid I can’t stay here anymore.”

There was a cool and determined look in Lin Yun’s eyes.

He knew that Zhou Yun and Chen Xiao wouldn’t spare him.

There was not a chance he could defeat Zhou Yun whose cultivation in Martial Practice was three levels higher.

Even if there was no level difference, he could only end in a tie with Chen Xiao.

Lin Yun meant to temper his swordplay in the Trigger Hall, but now he could only give up.

Zhou Yun’s overwhelming pressure, Su Ziyao’s indifference, Wang Ning’s mockery and disdain…

All previous scenes emerged in Lin Yun’s mind one by one.

A kind of unspeakable bitterness spread through his whole body.

He hadn’t had a great sense of frustration for many years since he never failed, which made him weak.

With a glance, he saw the picture Old Hong endowed him.

The ancient characters appeared in his vision once again, “My heart shelters a fierce tiger which, however, enjoys sniffing roses.”.

There was a flash of light in Lin’s eyes. He realized this was the place he was in nowadays. No matter in Qingyun Sect or in Xuanhuang Land, people respected the strong and enslaved the weak.

So, a strong man never complained!

Lin held the scroll panting tightly, and the confusion and weakness in Lin’s eyes were replaced by stubbornness and perseverance, “Two months later, we’ll see!”

Sect Affairs Administration was always crowded.

Disciples could receive their pay or take tasks from the Sect.

Qingyun Sect issued various tasks in Sect Affairs Administration. Some were hunting beasts, some were collecting rare plants and some were killing robbers. In addition to Sect Affairs Administration, there was Weapon Chamber and Martial Arts Building in Qingyun Sect.

When Lin Yun arrived at the Sect Affairs Administration, everything was usual as before.

But when he appeared, the hall became quiet suddenly.

Everyone was looking at him.

The news that he defeated Chen Xiao with his Flowing Wind Swordplay and withstood Zhou Yun’s strike spread all over the outer disciples overnight.

They were even more surprised on hearing that he had mastered the Flowing Wind Swordplay.

You should know he was only a sword slave a few days ago!

This huge contrast made the story even more surprising.

Of course, his special relationship with Su Ziyao had also aroused a lot of discussion and gossip.

Lin Yun came straight to Administrator Yang under many complicated eyes.

“May I get two months’ salaries in advance and take some tasks by the way, Administrator Yang?”

Administrator Yang looked at Lin Yun, surprised. Lin Yun proved a proverb that no one should be underestimated with the time lapsing.

A sword slave who had been totally belittled by Administrator Yang was getting strong so fast. Administrator Yang spent a moment calming down, and he did not deliberately make things difficult for Lin Yun this time, “Yes, you can. Here is your two months’ salaries, two Body Refining Elixirs, four Spirit Cultivating Elixirs and 5 kilograms of gold.”

Spirit Cultivating Elixir and gold were nothing important.

Gold might be valuable in the eyes of ordinary people. But it was worth nothing in the eyes of high-ranking practitioners. It was said that among the inner disciples, the real currency of exchange was Spiritual Stones; gold and silver could only be used for buying daily food.

However, Body Refining Elixir was of great value for all practitioners, even among inner disciples.

With the two new elixirs, Lin Yun had five Body Refining Elixirs in total now.

With these elixirs, he could make rapid progress in the fourth level of Martial Practice.

“It seems you really plan to challenge Zhou Yun in two months.”

Administrator Yang handed the salaries to Lin Yun and said meaningfully.

He knew that Lin Yun intended to take the tasks in the next two months. By going out and practicing, Lin could enhance his strength and avoided the retaliation from Zhou Yun.

“Damn it. Will this old man purposely put obstacles in my way again?” Lin Yun was upset at once.

Administrator Yang knew what Lin Yun worried about, so he spoke softly, “Take it easy! I won’t trouble you since you have Old Hong’s support. Forget about the past. What kind of tasks do you want to take? Ordinary tasks or Spiritual Stone tasks?”
